This is a beautiful pattern with subtle colors. There is a small brown dot on each of the dinner plates but it’s not distracting enough to return. The bowls are a good size, suitable for soup, but the salad plates are smaller than expected. We usually eat off of salad plates but these are slightly larger than dessert plates. The plates are about the same thickness as Corelle so I worry that they’ll chip easily but haven’t had them long enough to gauge that.
